They were taught at home by their parents and they attended a educational co-op in Indianapolis. One of the best things I think my friend's parents did was to get them involved in extracurriculars that allowed them to socialize with other kids that were not in their homeschool group. Ballet, synchronized swimming, karate, gymnastics, civic theatre, and orchestra to name a few. Did I mention there were 9 kids in this family? Yeah. I think they did a great job with all of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-30684290425395375272010-01-13T22:02:41.169-05:002010-01-13T22:02:41.169-05:00Eh, my personal philosophy is that anything the pu...Eh, my personal philosophy is that anything the public schools can flaw, I can flaw better.<br /><br />I'll check out that website--I'm currently compiling a list of homeschool blogs, like the one that I currently have of crafty blogs.<br /><br />And the experiences? That's what I'm excited about. There are more experiences to be had in the world at large than there are in one school building for seven hours a day.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-10928343791728491722010-01-13T17:55:51.131-05:002010-01-13T17:55:51.131-05:00I'm still not convinced that public school is ...I'm still not convinced that public school is inferior. Perhaps the "education" is inferior, but the "experience" is not. A young'un's education SHOULD be flawed (to a certain extent)...not ideal (subjectively, of course). <br /><br />And how else will they realize that Earth is populated by many Scalawags and scofflaws?Natenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-16028521552050785952010-01-13T08:58:26.197-05:002010-01-13T08:58:26.197-05:00I know you are probably already knee-deep in homes...I know you are probably already knee-deep in homeschooling research, but I thought you might like to peruse this lady's homeschooling blog. She has a very large website, but this is the section that is devoted to homeschooling ideas/experiences. <br /><br />http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeschooling/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-73890158521128348332010-01-12T20:48:14.121-05:002010-01-12T20:48:14.121-05:00Wow!
